3.0 out of 5 stars twice as long as it should be, 7 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This book is 1045 pages long and has a split personality. The first 519 pages do a wonderful job covering all aspects of the AWT with fine explanations and concise examples. It's even peppered with helpful diagrams to explain the example code further.

Unfortunately, the last half of the book leaves a lot to be desired. It's ALL reference material virtually airlifted from Java in a Nutshell. It does give a little more detail than Nutshell, but not by much.

If this book had been cut in half (and reduced in price accordingly), it would be a perfect AWT book. I just hope the upcoming O'Reilly Swing book doesn't have the same waste of space.
